Gordon Ramsay Turkey Stuffing

Gordon Ramsay Turkey Stuffing
Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s turkey stuffing is a savory mixture made with sausage meat, breadcrumbs, onions, garlic, apples, and fresh herbs like sage, thyme, and parsley. It’s bound with egg and enriched with butter for moisture. Ramsay often prefers baking stuffing separately for better texture and a crispy top while keeping the turkey moist and evenly cooked.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) good-quality sausage meat

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 apple, peeled and finely diced

  • 3 cups (150g) fresh breadcrumbs (from rustic white or sourdough bread)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Optional add-ins: chopped chestnuts, dried cranberries, or pancetta

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking separately.

  • Cook the aromatics: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

  • Add the apples and herbs: Stir in the diced apple, parsley, sage, and thyme. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the apple starts to soften. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  • Combine the stuffing base: In a large bowl, mix the sausage meat with breadcrumbs. Add the cooked onion-apple mixture and season with salt and pepper.

  • Bind with egg: Pour in the beaten egg and mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.

  • Bake or stuff the turkey:

    • To bake separately: Transfer mixture to a buttered baking dish. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

    • To stuff the turkey: Loosely fill the turkey cavity with the stuffing just before roasting. Do not pack it tightly.

  • Serve warm: Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving if baked separately.
